OUR UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH

GDI pushes beyond traditional consulting and bureaucratic incubation. We take a hands-on approach and partner with innovators to address urgent global problems.

We have a track record of taking on complex issues with many moving parts and always prioritize the collective vision to move the needle on important issues.

Break Silos

We listen closely, interrogate the process, and bridge sectors to arrive at the best solutions to specific problems.

Hold Ourselves Accountable

We work closely with our partners every step of the way and measure our success by the real-world impact we create, not simply the advice we deliver.

Make the Connections

We catalyze potential partnerships and connect opportunities for funders, individuals, and organizations to work together towards common goals.

Think Long Term

We engage and empower organizations and initiatives to stand on their own as influencers in their fields.

We develop scaleable and self-sustaining projects, initiatives, and organizations.

GROWTH ENGINEERING

GDI understands that lasting change requires a solid foundation. That’s why we work with partners over 2-3 years to support the achievement of critical step-changes needed to take their ideas, initiatives, and organizations to the next level.

Conduct a thorough and thoughtful review to get to the root problems. Explore potential solutions and find the breakthrough idea

Collaborate with partners to iterate on solutions and integrate interdisciplinary approaches that generate momentum towards a solution.

Develop the leadership teams, governance, systems, and processes needed to transform ideas into actions. Connect with funders and networks, create a voice through strategic communications, and provide a fiduciary function.

Launch entrepreneurs and innovators into the next phase of growth. Set future milestones and transfer knowledge in order to ensure that the idea, initiative or organization is ready to stand alone.

To The Point

We improve lives and livelihoods in rural communities by integrating novel financing solutions and information technology.

Overview

The world’s 270 million smallholder farmers in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and South and Southeast Asia have the potential to help lift developing countries out of poverty and meet the mounting global demand for food, but they face many challenges to realizing this capacity for change. One of the most critical and complex of these barriers is financing.

GDI addresses farmers’ lack of access to financial resources. We pair different finance models with new technologies and agricultural data to enable farmers to invest in their farms, increase productivity, and connect to markets.

We forge close relationships with donors, banks, technical assistance partners, and NGOs to form a supportive platform for actors interacting with smallholder farmers across the agricultural value chain. Working with these partners, GDI fuels a foundation of critical research, facilitates new collaboration, strategically guides start-ups, and creates investment opportunities.

Beyond Health

To The Point

We build healthy communities by scaling up multi-sectoral innovations, accelerating the impact of social enterprises, and catalyzing the use of technology to unlock human potential.

Overview

GDI encourages sustained impact and healthier communities by examining the institutions and networks that support healthy lives, addressing neglected issue areas, and unearthing new solutions by dissecting the ways in which health interacts with other global problems.

We know that building healthy communities requires thinking beyond the boundaries of the health sector. That’s why we work with our partners to search for ways to “connect the dots” by identifying cross-cutting solutions to complex problems. GDI supports high-potential social enterprises to unlock the hidden capacity in local systems, access dark data, and link community-led efforts to systems-level impact. We pair technology and business models to create new public-private partnerships and distributed infrastructure.

We are always looking to partner with like-minded funders and changemakers who are ready to take on these challenges and think beyond health.

Development Frontiers

To The Point

We advance the global development architecture by introducing unorthodox funding, unconventional policy, and creative capacity-building ideas to the conversation.

Overview

GDI transforms the “business as usual” approach to global development.

Over the last several decades, the global development community has begun to recognize the limits of approaching the world’s problems with a model that is top-down, driven by public funding alone, and led by the global North. We believe that creating impact at scale calls for continuing to flip the traditional model upside-down. To make this vision of global development a reality, GDI pursues outside-of-the-box approaches to financing, policy, and capacity-building.

GDI works with new and existing multi-stakeholder initiatives and organizations. The ideas and initiatives we help implement are often complex, requiring cross-sector coordination and introducing new actors to the global development space. Our partners in these efforts come from a variety of institutions, disciplines, and locations, but are all social agitators interested in driving transformative impact and doing development differently.

To The Point

We unlock business opportunities toward social impact for individuals, small and medium enterprises, and corporates by challenging traditional structural and financing pathways.

Overview

GDI believes that private sector actors have the potential to reinvent how we think about profit. Entrepreneurs at all levels have demonstrated an appetite for incorporating social impact into their operations, but sometimes lack the know-how to take this desire from idea to action.

Regardless of whether the entrepreneur is a small business, social enterprise, or corporate leader, we work with our partners to find new ways of doing business that are financially and socially sound. We seek out creative financing, unique investment opportunities, and work within emerging markets to build and implement strategies with sustainable social and environmental impact. By working outside of traditional financing and structural norms, GDI realizes untapped potential and encourages us to rethink the idea that creating change and creating profit are diametrically opposed.

GDI works with new and existing multi-stakeholder initiatives and organizations. The ideas and initiatives we help implement are often complex, requiring cross-sector coordination and introducing new actors to the global development space. Our partners in these efforts come from a variety of institutions, disciplines, and locations, but are all social agitators interested in driving transformative impact and doing development differently.

Beyond Health

We build healthy communities by scaling up multi-sectoral innovations, accelerating the impact of social enterprises, and catalyzing the use of technology to unlock human potential.

We build healthy communities by scaling up multi-sectoral innovations, accelerating the impact of social enterprises, and catalyzing the use of technology to unlock human potential.

GDI encourages sustained impact and healthier communities by examining the institutions and networks that support healthy lives, addressing neglected issue areas, and unearthing new solutions by dissecting the ways in which health interacts with other global problems.

We know that building healthy communities requires thinking beyond the boundaries of the health sector. That’s why we work with our partners to search for ways to “connect the dots” by identifying cross-cutting solutions to complex problems. GDI supports high-potential social enterprises to unlock the hidden capacity in local systems, access dark data, and link community-led efforts to systems-level impact. We pair technology and business models to create new public-private partnerships and distributed infrastructure. We are always looking to partner with like-minded funders and changemakers who are ready to take on these challenges and think beyond health.

Impact Escalated

We unlock business opportunities toward social impact for individuals, small and medium enterprises, and corporates by challenging traditional structural and financing pathways.

We unlock business opportunities toward social impact for individuals, small and medium enterprises, and corporates by challenging traditional structural and financing pathways.

GDI believes that private sector actors have the potential to reinvent how we think about profit. Entrepreneurs at all levels have demonstrated an appetite for incorporating social impact into their operations, but sometimes lack the know-how to take this desire from idea to action.

Regardless of whether the entrepreneur is a small business, social enterprise, or corporate leader, we work with our partners to find new ways of doing business that are financially and socially sound. We seek out creative financing, unique investment opportunities, and work within emerging markets to build and implement strategies with sustainable social and environmental impact. By working outside of traditional financing and structural norms, GDI realizes untapped potential and encourages us to rethink the idea that creating change and creating profit are diametrically opposed.
